More likely they'll limit any feature changes so it can be available in larger quantities at launch. I likely would have upgraded to a 14 from my 13 because I'm an idiot, but won't now because its halfway through the cycle.

the only time I used tech support via a phone the experience was pleasantIf the product works, is easy to set up, and works over 10 years, then why do you need tech support?That doesn't add up
I needed to know if was still selling the MacBook Air m1 a week before Ventura was released.
the other products I purchased and needed tech help they were clueless and demanded a phone number.
"…I think people are willing to really stretch to get the best they can afford in that category."
Cook talks like the the multi-millionaire that he is. It shows that he doesn't have to worry about sky high utility bills or the fact that a dozen of eggs is over $5 in most places. He's clueless about the average Joe's predicament.
I think a lot of people are going "to really stretch" to buy replacement batteries for their older phones this year if the prices go up.

We are witnessing the very, very first stirrings of Tim Cook handing over. This year is his 25th year at Apple. I think he'll announce he's leaving by December, then leave sometime next year.
With the avent of AIs such as ChatGPT, if they don't SERIOUSLY improve Siri at WWDC this year, I'll be deceived for like the 5th year in a row. Siri has to be far more intelligent than it is now.
I've tried ChatGPT quite a lot, and as much as it can be stupid with some areas (like Math), it's surprisingly useful in other areas (like programming). Apparently ChatGPT 4 will be 1,000 times more knowledgeable.

But does the operator offer 12 or 24 month financing or do you have to pay for the phone outright? In the USA operators do that, so the average person who can’t buy an iphone outright can certainly buy it in monthly payments. That’s why americans no longer see the iphone as a symbol of luxury and status as people do in the rest of the world.
You may well be right, but without a family or other hobbies/interests he will be looking for some new challenge. Maybe politics.
Looks like the street liked what they saw, for now at least.

Customers are willing to stretch to get the best iPhone they can afford eh...
Expect all the major upgrades to only go to the 15 Ultra and Pro (assuming the regular size model is still called Pro and doesn't get the Ultra treatment), with the 15 basically being a 14 with the 14 Pro chip and maybe main sensor.

Which is kind of a shame. Before AS, you could find a technical reason for support cutoffs, even if it was as trivial as replacing one kext with a 64 bit driver. After Apple Silicon came out, some of the Intel cutoffs seemed to have no rhyme or reason apart from advancing the Intel shutdown overall.
I hate to see still well working machines that would trivially be supported cut out from support, it's just more junk in a landfill, even if not immediately.
The stock price of Apple was $70 at the end of 2019. Now it is $140. It doubled in 3 years. This is outstanding. Where do you get double in investment in 3 years? Nowhere.Looks like the street liked what they saw, for now at least.

it depends what is being manufactured.
FAB is mostly automated, not labor intensive.
Most of Intel chips are manufactured in USA.
manufacturing some parts in phone are labor intensive, that would increase cost.
Apple has approximately 30% profit margins, International prices vary based on $ conversion rates.
Consumers want cheapest products possible with best technology, Shareholders want largest profit margin possible.I agree that that's what the shareholders want. Doesn't mean I like it as a consumer, thus my point stands.
So what customers want and what shareholders want will never align.
“Apple doesnt understand pricing. Their market share is too low because people dont want to buy their overpriced stuff.”
vs
“Apple products are sold out here, because they have pricing power, and people here are willing to pay up for the stuff”
Which is it?
Its gonna get worse as many companies swap Intel Macs for AS because those are gonna be T2 locked with no way to repurpose them.
Operators offer 12/24 or 36(Since iphone 12) months financing. iPhones had never been a symbol of luxury or status in Scandinavian countries. People buy phones which they are comfortable with.
I guess my point is - so?
I use both OneDrive and iCloud on my Macbook and run ChatGPT in Safari. Whatever technological advancements these companies may have on the software front, it doesn't change the fact that I am running them primarily as apps on Apple hardware.
Likewise, unless Microsoft is able to package openAI in a sexy piece of hardware that makes people willing enough to migrate over to windows from the Apple ecosystem, I fail to see the threat to Apple. We also don't know if Microsoft has overpaid for openAI (reminds me a lot of all these huge tech giants making flashy acquisitions, only to wind them down later because they can't find a viable business model for said products).
What am I missing again?
